June 12 2019 - 5:15PM
CN has donated $150,000 to the Milton District Hospital Foundation
(MDHF) to support annual equipment priorities for Milton District
Hospital.
The donation will be used to ensure that the
hospital is equipped to meet the needs of fast-growing Milton.
Milton District Hospital supports the healthcare
needs of the Milton community, providing care in more than 45, 700
annual Emergency visits, delivering more than 1,000 babies a year
in the Maternal Newborn unit, and performing more than 10,500
surgeries and procedures annually. It also provides Diagnostic
Imaging services to the community, including upwards of 3,000 MRI
scans in the last year.
“We’re proud to continue our partnership with
the Milton District Hospital Foundation to support the hospital’s
ongoing equipment needs,” said Sean Finn, executive vice-president,
Corporate Services and chief legal officer, CN. “The amount of CN’s
donation -- $150,000 – represents a more than doubling of the court
costs the company was awarded following an unsuccessful legal
challenge over the planned CN Milton Logistics Hub. We believe
strongly in giving back to the communities we serve.”
In February 2018 the Region of Halton, the City
of Burlington, the Town of Halton Hills, the Town of Milton, the
Town of Oakville, and Conservation Halton, announced a joint Court
application to confirm their jurisdiction to review CN’s proposed
Milton Logistics Hub.
In October 2018 the challenge was stayed by the
Superior Court of Ontario. CN was awarded court costs.
MDHF has completed the Our Home, Our Hospital
Campaign, raising $30 million to support new and replacement
equipment for the expansion of Milton District Hospital. CN was a
leadership donor to the campaign, making a $300,000 gift in January
2015 through the CN ‘Miracle Match’ program, which launched a
compelling and innovative match gift challenge to the business
community – and doubled the impact of its gift. In recognition of
CN’s generosity, the Family Lounge in the in the newly expanded
Maternal Newborn Department was named in honour of the company.
